Gita in bici di un giorno da Torgau a Misnia

Ready for a scenic adventure? This lovely cycling tour starts in Torgau, a charming town on the Elbe River, known for its Renaissance Hartenfels Castle and its important role in WWII as the meeting point of American and Soviet troops. From here, you’ll roll southwest towards Meissen, an 83 km journey mostly on paved roads and quiet paths—perfect for soaking in the countryside.

Expect a gentle ride with just a couple of mild climbs (the total ascent is just over 215 meters, so your legs will be happy). The terrain is mostly smooth asphalt and paving stones, with only small sections of unpaved or gravel track. You’ll wind past picturesque riverside views, tiny Saxon villages, and plenty of local vineyards—Meissen is famous for its porcelain and wine, after all!

Finish in Meissen’s old town, where you can reward yourself with a tour of the stunning Albrechtsburg Castle, or chill at a cozy café overlooking the Elbe. This route is a perfect blend of history, scenery, and relaxed cycling—ideal for a day’s ride.
